GL: Friendship's adventure, and Marco Island anchorage

[Brent Hodges]

After spending a night at Boco Grande, beautiful place but too pricey, we
headed down to Naples. Ran the inside route to Marco Island. Only saw skinny
water once, and that was just south of Naples, maybe a mile or less into the
10 mile trip. We found a great anchorage about 1 1/2 miles inside Capris Pass.
The anchorage behind Coconut Island that is in the cruising guides doesn't
exist as far as we could see. (actually Coconut Island doesn't exist)  On the
way through we saw this place, so we came back to it. It's on the outside of
the curve at Green 13 & R 14. Great
place!  8 to 10 foot of water and good holding. Very well protected.
25.59.956N  81.44.597W. I'd highly reccomend it. The inside route from Naples
down also!

We left out this morning for Key West. Plan on anchoring there if I can find
the anchorage!
